Oxidative potential (OP) is a crucial indicator for evaluating the capacity of PM2.5 to trigger oxidative stress. Therefore, this study employed dithiothreitol (DTT) method to measure the OP of PM2.5. During the observation period, the results indicated that the daily average concentration of atmospheric PM2.5 in Taiyuan severely exceeded the standard, with a maximum concentration reaching 150.91µg/m3, signifying severe air pollution. The daily average values for volume-normalized (DTTv) and mass-normalized (DTTm) DTT activity were (2.90±1.07)nmol/(min·m3) and (38.34±18.91)pmol/(min·µg), respectively. Meanwhile, a significant positive correlation was observed between PM2.5 mass concentration and DTTv (r=0.916, P<0.01), while a negative correlation was found with DTTm. Furthermore, DTTv exhibited significant correlations (P<0.05) with organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), metallic elements (Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb), and ionic components (K+, Cl-, etc.) within PM2.5. These phenomena suggested that DTT activity primarily depends on specific components of PM2.5. The study further integrated the positive matrix factorization (PMF) model with the multiple linear regression algorithm. Quantitative analysis revealed that solid fuel combustion sources, such as coal combustion, were the most important sources of OP in Taiyuan, contributing 54.7%, followed by motor vehicle sources (23.3%) and dust sources (22.0%).
